Argentina synth maker GS Music – maker of the Apollo 1 synthesizer – shared this sneak preview of their upcoming polyphonic synthesizer.
Details are to be announced; at this point, GS Music is only saying that ‘Se viene un sintetizador polifónico’ (a polyphonic synthesizer is coming).
awesome news! so happy they shared!
Wait…..it’s real right? Not a VST?
JK, but the render is bad.
Looks like a Prophet-10 clone.
@FM: Prophet 10 clone ? What gave you that idea?
The lack of a dual keybed?
its amazing that we’ve come full circle like this, back to the analogue polysynths of the 1970s! Hope they can add some digital effects and innovations, a waveshaper would be nice.
(Oh, and ive heard the cassette tape is making a major come back too!)
Are the mod and pitch wheels around the back?
looks very cool kinda retro kinda different, looks classy.
There is enough space on the front pannel for 2 touch strips, one for pitch and one for modulation…..just a friendly thought.
They posted some extra information on Facebook (“GS Music”) Feb. 24:
“We are still working on the design of the new polyphonic analog synth. The idea is to use the same sound board used in the Apollo I with some small modifications and make every control accessible from the panel. Some new features are: PWM on oscillators 1 and 2, a third basic digital oscillator and a graphic display. For the prototypes, we will be using some spare 4 octaves keybeds with semi-weighted keys and aftertouch that we have laying around.”
